The Listening Project,
is a documentary that I made with award winning
filmmaker Irene Taylor Brodsky. I interviewed 15 deaf adults in their
20s and 30s. I identified the hearing losses of most of them when they
were babies. See what is possible for deaf
people with today’s technology, and listen to what they have to say.

The New York Times Op Docs section is featuring an abbreviated version
of The
Listening Project including some cuts that were not included in the
original film.

Sound and Silence

Please
take a look at my blog HEARING AND KIDS at HearingHealthMatters.org.
I will be covering all issues related to hearing and kids with a new
blog every week. It is designed for parents as well as for
professionals. Please check it out and, if you have suggestions for
topics let me know.

Welcome
to my
website!

I firmly believe that children with hearing loss have the ability to
learn to use hearing to develop spoken language. I also believe that
every child is testable – no matter the age or degree of other
disabilities. With proper management, most children with hearing loss
can be educated in the mainstream along with their typical hearing
peers. Click

I am available for
consultations with families that are concerned about management of
their child’s hearing loss. I am not currently seeing patients, but I
can review evaluations, make recommendations, and communicate with
other professionals working with the family. I can make referrals for
the diagnosis of hearing loss and auditory therapy, as well as to
hearing aid centers and cochlear implant centers. Click here to learn
more about how we might work together.

I am also available
for talks, workshops, seminars and program consultations. I speak to
audiences of parents and/or professionals. Click here to see a list of
some
potential topics.

After 40 years in
practice, I have worked with many, many patients and many, many
colleagues. Click
